      Hi,

      I'm using a raspberry PI 3 B+ with retropie 4.5.1 and a usb key.
      Got +100 psx games. All my psx games whatever format, pbp or img or bin, work perfectly fine with or without the SCHP1001.BIN Bios until "Metal Gear Solid".
      All games under this game in the list fail in pbp or img or bin. Multidisc or not.
      I tried to replace them to check if it was a bad rom, convert ISO in PBP for multidisc games, tried the us over the eu, test all the BIOS one by one, put them in the folder.

      Here is the log :
      Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/psx/Tomb Raider I.pbp" --appendconfig /dev/shm/retroarch.cfg

      If anyone got any idea of what I do wrong.
      Thank you

        but your log is for tomb raider?

        bad psar_sig

        this error appears to be due to a bad rip, according to my google. if you've tried several, it sounds like you're very unlucky, unless they are all conversions from the same bad source.

          My read is that 'all games from MGS till the end' are not working, hence it's not just a single game.
          Otherwise, yes, it looks like a bad disc dump or corrupted file. Try with simple .cue/.bin images that you can validate against redump.org's database.
